We are torn! We love both reception sites, but can’t decide which to go with. Since it is a wedding in South Florida where most of our family is from, we figured a beach wedding would be great for out of towners coming to Florida (rather than keeping them about 20 minutes inland). Not that it’s that big of a deal, but we also love the country club near our homes because it is new and we love all the stone work that would like great in pictures and would be a nice atmosphere. BUT, we would love the beach hotel because family can stay in rooms afterwards and hang out at the bar and all have breakfast together the next morning.

The country club is very nice, but I would go with th Marriott. You cant beat a beach wedding, plus it would be more fun/laid back for the out of towners. Also like you said the family can spend more time together and they would have accommodations.
